Politics: questioning Gonzales on torture

An excellent indictment of Alberto Gonzales' past:

On Tuesday, a dozen retired generals, including a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed a letter expressing "deep concern" about Gonzales' position on torture. That position, the military leaders said, had damaged the United States' reputation around the world and exposed U.S. troops to increased risks of mistreatment by captors. Acceptance of torture, the letter states, puts the U.S. "on the wrong side of history."

It's a short and very to-the-point op/ed from the Eugene, OR paper.
